top buiten de badkamer
Pros:

De locatie was top alles op een wandelafstand te doen. Enkel voor het Colosseum kan je best het openbaar vervoer of de hop on hop off bus gebruiken.

Cons:

De kamers hadden wel een kleine opknapbeurt nodig de badkamer was klein en de douche was echt mega klein om er in te staan. Er waren stopcontacten die een beetje stuk waren. Je zag op sommige plaatsen dat ze het wat hadden opgelapt, maar het was heel zichtbaar.

Pros:

Pulizia e centralità della struttura

Cons:

Bagno piccolissimo, molti articoli da bagno li ho dovuti lasciare in valigia. Il box doccia piccolo e scomodo. Il televisore piccolo, vecchio e poco funzionante. Prima colazione con buffet poco fornito. Dopo le ore 20 il portone viene chiuso e bisogna suonare perchè venga aperto.
I conclusione questo hotel potrebbe essere classificato come un discreto hotel a tre stelle e non come un quattro stelle con un costo spropositato.
